I'm interested in Documents Seller, but have a few initial questions.
First, on the purchase process, is it possible to check-out (i.e. complete the purchase) as a guest and not need to register.
I was reading in the documentation that registration looks to be optional. Without registration it seems the customer cannot review their purchase history online.
That may be fine, particularly with customers that want to make a quick purchase, but not bother with registering. I want to make the purchase process as easy as possible.
Next a few questions regarding the digital product filenames and file locations.
I read that the location of the digital products can be set via the "Document Path" setting in the configuration options. It looks to default to a folder under the Joomla root.
Is it possible to locate this folder above the Joomla root, i.e. effectively outside of all the files for the Joomla website?
Finally, and most importantly, is there any flexibility (maybe wildcard flexibility) in how the digital products are named? It looks like the digital products filenames need to be specified in the Documents Seller -> Documents documents management page.
I have a situation where I'll be uploading (via FTP) digital products that have filenames with the date appended on the end. Example: examplefilename_20250905.zip.
A new version of that file that will get uploaded automatically will have a newer date.
How would I handle this situation where the specific name of the digital product is continually changing? I would not want to be required to manually update the filename specification withing the documents management page every time a new digital product is automatically uploaded via FTP.
Is there a way to configure the selling of digital products where the filename changes frequently?
Thanks,
Jim
